Transonic similarity solution for aligned field MHD nozzle flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
S U M M A R Y The transonic flow near the throat of a converging-diverging nozzle of a gas with infinite electrical conductivity is considered. The magnetic field B is everywhere aligned with the velocity q so that the equations describing the flow are reducible to those of ordinary gasdynamics. Thus, it is possible to utilize the transonic similarity solution of Tomotika and Tamada [3] to study aligned field magnetohydrodynamic flow near a nozzle throat. Only transonic flows are considered, and the structures of suband supersonic flows with speeds greater and less than the Alfv6n speed are investigated.

Existence and Stability of Multidimensional Transonic Flows through an Infinite Nozzle of Arbitrary Cross-sections
We establish the existence and stability of multidimensional steady transonic flows with transonic shocks through an infinite nozzle of arbitrary cross-sections, including a slowly varying de Laval nozzle. The transonic flow is governed by the inviscid potential flow equation with supersonic upstream flow at the entrance, uniform subsonic downstream flow at the exit at infinity, and the slip bo...

متن کاملMHD scenario of plasma detachment in a magnetic nozzle
Abstract Some plasma propulsion concepts rely on a strong magnetic field to guide the plasma flow through the thruster nozzle. The question then arises of how the magnetically confined plasma can detach from the spacecraft. This work presents an MHD detachment scenario in which the plasma flow stretches the magnetic field lines to infinity. Detachment takes place after the energy density of the...

To improve the calculation of the flow properties of an aerospike nozzle, different turbulence models were investigated in this study. The primary shape of the nozzle plug is determined through utilizing an approximate method. The flow field is, then, simulated using the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible flows.
